Good quality

I replaced an aging set of city slicks with these and have been very happy with their performance.

Good durable Tyre

Posted23 August 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, good on roads and tow paths

Bought this to replace identical tyre I had on my ATB. The front tyre started to de-laminate and I lost air in the tyre. Not sure if it was a puncture, as I couldn't see any holes, but there were some slight cracks in the tyre.This tyre has lasted a long time, many years in fact, and I never had a puncture on that tyre before. It's very goon on the road too, you certainly know the difference compared to a full on mountain bike tyre.I would thoroughly recommend this if you use mainly roads/tow paths/bridal ways. I have not used it for proper mountain biking so I'm not sure how it performs there. But I got a pair at half price, so really I got two for the price of one.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value

I have a specialized fsr mtb with maxis at the front and captain s at the back , been thinking about road tyres for a while and went to my local evans and the guys were great and suggested these , I was not disappointed they are amazing , the rolling resistance is near zero and gives good confidance in the bends

Superb all year round commuter tyre

Posted24 April 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable

Fitted these to my Jamis MTB and blown away by the difference it made to the way the bike rolls. Near silent road running and silky smooth ride. I ride mainly on roads and cycle paths when commuting to work and these are the best tyres I have ever used. No punctures, despite riding back roads notorious for broken glass that used to slash my previous, chunky tyres to pieces!If you have chunky MTB tyres but don't go off road much then make the change to these. The knobbly on the sides will look after you when you hit mud but won't slow you down on day to day cycling round town.

Roll easily, wear well, grip well, no punctures

I have just used the Travel Contact 26 x 1.75 wire beads on both wheels on a 3-month tour of New Zealand, covering 3,600 km. Both tyres new at start. Bike (Surly LHT) loaded with four panniers plus tent, approx 10 kg total at the front, approx 16 kg plus 2.5 kg at the back. Road surface 90 % tarmac (mostly crushed aggregate with quite sharp edges) and 10 % gravel. The front tyre is approx 50 % worn, the rear tyre 65 % worn.

The tyres roll very easily, noticeably faster than the Marathons of an accompanying bike. The wear was quite acceptable considering the heavy load and the sharp aggregate used in NZ roads. Grip on gravel was surprisingly good, just as good as the Mondials that I used on a previous trip, although I had to be careful on a section of hard-packed smooth gravel covered by a thin layer of loose sand. Note however that I didn't experience any soft, muddy conditions.

There was little debris on most of the roads, but a number of glass shards from smashed beer bottles (no deposit on bottles in NZ) in a few towns/suburbs, mostly on the North Island. Despite this, I had no punctures whatsoever, so I had no use for the inner tube or Travel Contact foldable that I was carrying in reserve!

very good tyres

Posted27 March 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight

These are good quality tyres. They are faster than my old knobbly tyres. I only use them on cycle paths and the road so don't know how they would perform on rough stuff. Very happy overall.

Make a huge difference commuting

Posted08 January 2014

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality, low rolling resistance

Bought these as I mainly use the MTB for commuting in the week and slogging up hills on knobblies was a chore. Bought these as they have good resistance to punctures, have grips to the side walls but a flat middle tread so offer much less rolling resistance but some grip for trails.Definatly no good on boggy grass and mud but great on the road and fine on gravel, tracks and reasonably dry fields etc.Only had them a month or so now but nothing to complain about so would certainly recommend.

Great value for money

Posted27 December 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable, Looks great

I use my bike for commuting to work and this is now my 2nd pair of travel contacts. They provide good puncture protection, good grip and good speed along the pavement/road. After about ~4000 miles they started to puncture more frequently which is why I have just bought a 2nd pair. They also came with free inner tubes so can't ask for much more really at this price!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality

Exactly what I needed for the summer! Rolls well on tarmac and the edges grip the loose stuff on the tracks. I will change back to full off road tyres in winter as these won't handle wet rocks and roots.

Posted20 July 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality

When I realised I was riding my Mountain Bike on the roads more than I was off of them I decided it was either time to buy a road bike or upgrade to a more appropriate tyre. Unable to afford a new road bike these have been a fantastic stop-gap. They're fast and smooth and ideal for the roads this summer. When it comes to tyres Continental are my first choice and constantly surpass my expectations in quality and durability. Looking forward to putting down a lot more miles with these excellent tyres!

I use my moutain bike for cycle track/canal path/road use and these were an excelelnt replacement to the nobbly off road tyres. Significant reduction in resistance :-) Should have made the change a lot sooner.

Posted22 April 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality

I am using these on my commuting and touring bike. They have seen a lot of tarmac, but also gravel, and not only in the UK. I find them durable, and I like that they are smooth on roads but still have a good grip on less firm surfaces. I only just managed to wear out another pair - heavily used - and I will stick with them, as I think they are very good quality and value.

commuting tyre

Posted01 January 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good quality

have been using for a month now. so far so good. no punctures which is the main thing. no problems in the wet which there has been a lot lately. other reviews questioned the effectiveness in the wet but i have been confident with them.

Quality urban tyre

Posted07 November 2012

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Comfortable

Had to replace the knobbly's on my Trek as nearly all my riding at present is on roads or parkland. The increased speed is welcome together with the superb grip on all hard surfaces. Limited use on the loose stuff obviously but as mentioned I did not buy them to use there. Have worked well on grass fields though. If you need a quality product for your MTB to use in urban surroundings this is the one for you.
